Neighbor&apos;s Property Damage Blame Game Turns Legal: Unexpected Twist Revealed

“Make sure you’ve got a good policy in place”

Unfortunately, there’s no way to protect yourself from other people’s trampolines damaging your property. However, Sarah Orr, a spokesperson for insurance platform Compare the Market, said that damage caused by flying trampolines can often be claimed under storm coverage.

“No one expects a trampoline to fly into their yard, but obviously we’ve seen as a possibility it can happen, so make sure you’ve got a good policy in place,” Orr said. It depends on the insurance company and the location you’re in, so make sure to do thorough research if you live in severe weather zones and are looking into this type of insurance.

“If you have some cover for storm damage, you should be able to make a claim for something like a trampoline damaging your property,” she continued explaining. “Take plenty of pictures to provide as evidence to your insurer and try to make that claim as quickly as possible.

The compensation liability might not always fall on the owner of the trampoline. If they had anchored their trampoline and the storm was stronger, they might not be held liable, and vice versa. It all depends on the situation.
